Security Audit & Assessment
Our security audit verifies whether the company's information system adheres to a set of internal or external criteria governing data security. Internal criteria include company IT policies and procedures while external criteria include regulations such as the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA), the Sarbanes-Oxley Act (SOX), standards set by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) or the National Institute for Standards in Technology (NIST).
A security audit allows you to identify areas where you need to take corrective action and growth.
Following the audit, change may predict and propose new security technologies, but it may certainly require cybersecurity diagnostics to identify, estimate and prioritize your security risks.
Security Posture check, vulnerability analysis of systems, machinery, infrastructure, with final reporting and some recommendations for improvement.
A Security Audit & Assessment is STIM's service for an assessment of your information system that is useful for measuring security against a list of industry best practices, established standards or current regulations.
Your company must be IT secure, our comprehensive security audit will assess security controls related to:
1.
Physical components of the information system and of the environment in which the system is housed.
2.
Applications and software.
3.
Network vulnerability.
4.
The human dimension, including how employees collect, share, and store sensitive information.

Vulnerability Assessment
Identifying the potential attack surface of a network, whether IT or industrial (OT), requires an automated scan of a well-defined perimeter. This scanning is done through a Vulnerability Assessment, a security analysis that aims to identify all vulnerabilities in systems and applications and the resulting potential damage.
Running a VA allows the security level situation of IT assets to be monitored-a first step in optimizing all Security Management efforts. The process consists of scans that are performed on Web apps or corporate networks using professional scanner systems that sift through corporate targets, such as:
scanning networking and therefore network devices;
scanning hosts/servers;
specific scanning for wireless networks;
scanning Web applications;
scanning databases.
RED TEAM - PREVENTION
Penetration Test
To verify the real level of attackability of systems, applications and devices, STIM performs Penetration Test for its clients, as a natural continuation of the Vulnerability Assessment activity.
Penetration Test exploits hackers' own modalities and aims to target existing or potential vulnerabilities to bypass the security measures in place, thus getting access to the system, data and applications present, in order to identify all possible modes of intrusion and prevent future real attacks.
SOCIAL ENGINEERING ASSESSMENT
PSAT
The human component has always been the weak link in the security chain. STIM's Cyber Security team, combining targeted strategies with psychological analysis, activates a series of tools to test Stakeholders' response to possible cyber attack attempts: the Social Engineering Assessment. Highly customized phishing campaigns, physical intrusion attempts on premises, and the spread of malware on removable devices are just some of the techniques deployed to test corporate vulnerability from the human side.
Red Team - Prevention
Assessing a company's ability to detect, prevent, and respond to sophisticated and targeted threats, as well as to identify and quantify existing security gaps, contributes greatly to the practical success of defense, allowing for improvements in future processes.
The Red Team is responsible for systematically executing cyber attacks against the client company in order to determine the effectiveness of adopted Cyber Security programs. Red Team attacks are multi-level simulations designed to measure the actions and reactions of people, networks, applications, and systems in the event of an incident.
The Red Team tested environments are mainly three:
Technological Environment
Breaches of a perimeter, exposed services, web applications, routers and devices are attempted.
Human Environment
Social Engineering is carried out against staff.
Physical Environment
Attempting to access company buildings or property.
CGA
CyberSecurity Gap Analysis
We assess the maturity level of organizational security measures in place in the clients' organization against best practices and reference frameworks such as ISO27001, CIS, NIST, AgID, etc.
Awareness
With a view to preventing cyber attacks, training of employees and contractors is crucial from the perspective of risk awareness and prevention, as more than 80 percent of cyber incidents are caused by human error and carelessness with heavy economic and reputational repercussions for companies, estimated in the millions.
To prevent cyber security incidents, we work on training corporate personnel through simulated cyber attacks to train users to react correctly in the event of a real attack and to acquire other cyber security skills.
Regular training sessions for our clients are periodically scheduled at our academy in Milan.
